With Leather Live Discussion: UFC 160
For this UFC 160 Live Discussion, which has been hailed by Queen Elizabeth II as the second-best UFC PPV live discussion on the Internet behind her own, I decided to lead with the Taylor Swift/Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva mashup because it’s a lot better than the other video than I’ve included, as it features significantly less blood pouring out of Silva’s face holes.But here...

Hey NBC Sports, Can We Talk About The NHL Playoffs For A Second?
As we’ve previously discussed, because the NHL does not have an exclusive contract with the big, ol’ fancy pants sports talkers and debate embracers at ESPN, it doesn’t get as much attention as the NBA Playoffs. It also doesn’t help that the NHL Playoffs are airing on NBC Sports and CNBC, two networks that most people couldn’t tell you channel numbers for if you held a...
Superfight Super News: Anderson Silva Could Fight Jon Jones… Depending On That Toe
After we watched Jon Jones’ big toe roll in a direction that toes aren’t supposed to roll during his first round victory against Chael Sonnen at UFC 159, we figured that it would be a while before he fought again, because it had been reported that he had suffered a serious fracture. Then Jones finished his post-fight pizza and he was all, “It’s not broken, just dislocated”...

‘The Legend Of El Oso Blanco’ Is The Perfect Tribute To Evan Gattis
Several weeks ago, in one of my award-winning Watch This pieces (it received Best New Artist at last weekend’s Billboard Music Awards), I commented on how Atlanta Braves catcher Evan Gattis was my favorite story of the 2013 Major League Baseball season thus far. Gattis was brought on by the BARVES as a potential fill-in at catcher while Brian McCann recovered from his offseason...
Bellator Ring Girl Jade Bryce Is Now The Frank Caliendo Of MMA
I mean that in a positive way, believe it or not.Cage Potato sent over this clip of Bellator ring girl Jade Bryce doing her best impressions of memorable MMA fighters, faces and fans, and now it’s my duty to pass it along to you.

Taiwan Animation Covers The Anchored Putter Ban, Fried Chicken-Gate, Caddyshack
The anchored putter ban controversy is big, but not so big that Taiwan Animation couldn’t devote 20 seconds to Tiger Woods dumping a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken on Sergio Garcia’s head. Way to make Tiger pitch black, Taiwan.- Follow us on Twitter @withleather - Follow me personally @MrBrandonStroud and Burnsy @MayorBurnsy - Like us on Facebook.LinksSports On TV: Adventure...

UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGH.*deep breath*UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGH.*throws brick through TV*UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGH.I always thought it would be for Cheetos.I’ve always thought the perfect SNL sketch for Jay Pharoah’s Stephen A. Smith impression would be to have him “debating” with a series of guests and each of them ends up committing suicide off screen in a different way. Sort of...

MAD SKILLS
Bearcats baseball team: Master videobombers
I guess when your baseball team finishes a season with an overall record of 24-32 and an even worse conference showing at 6-18, you need to find other things to be happy about. Fortunately, while the school’s basketball fans were off Harlem Shaking, the University of Cincinnati Bearcats baseball players were keeping their fans entertained by videobombing their teammates during...
The University Of New Hampshire Paid $100K For New Logos That Its Students Don’t Like
Like most American colleges, the old University of New Hampshire academic logo was long overdue for a makeover, so the school’s officials hired a big time company in New York City to whip up some fancy new logos that would make kids in the Northeast change the way they think about selecting schools. The results, as you can see above, are certainly logos, but when they were recently...

See Velasquez’s live reaction as he watches Bigfoot Silva pull off an epic knockout against Alistair Overeem.

Andrew McCutchen Interviewed Anthony Bourdain And It Was Pretty Great
At 26-years old, Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutchen is one of the best young stars in baseball, and I hate that he plays in the National League Central, because he’s probably my favorite non-Cardinal to watch play, so I hate to have to cheer against him when he plays St. Louis. A lot of people believe that Cutch is one of baseball’s best 5-tool players, and they...
An Octopus Taking Selfies: NBA Mascots That Should Never Dunk Dunked Again
As we discussed back in January, Conan O’Brien’s NBA Mascots That Should Never Dunk is probably my favorite thing that happens on television. As far as I can tell, the list goes (1) NBA Mascots That Should Never Dunk, (2) The Shield matches on Raw, (3) Ygritte telling Jon Snow he knows nothing, (4) appearances from Fat Schmidt.The segment made its grand return on last night’s...
LeBron James Would’ve Posterized Paul George, But He’s Not Even In The Picture
In the picture below, you’ll see someone’s head about an inch from LeBron James’ ass as he soars through the air for a game-winning lay-up in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. That’s Paul George of the Indiana Pacers. He had his ankles broken, his legs, both of his arms and most of his neck. It’s not even fair.- Follow us on Twitter @withleather - Follow me personally...
With Leather’s Watch This: Chillax, Bryce Harper Is Still Just A Young Fella
Ouchtown, Population: Bryce Harper. The Washington Nationals should not, according to closer Rafael Soriano and most people with working eyeballs, have lost their fourth game in a row to drop their record to .500 last night. They should not have blown their ninth-inning lead and allowed a triple to Gregor Blanco, but they did because 20-year old phenom Bryce Harper caught a case...
10 Random Thoughts About The Impact Wrestling Scratch Off Game
@matt_T tweeted at me a little earlier, and the message read, “I just saw this today. TNA has a scratch off lottery game in Georgia.” I wasn’t sure what to think. Then, suddenly, I wasn’t sure what not to think.Collected below are 10 random thoughts I had about the Impact Wrestling scratch-off game.1. When you scratch off a circle it’s not a number, it’s just a close...
Jose Bautista Must Think He’s Pretty Cool With His Lifetime MLB Pass
The Major League Baseball Lifetime Pass is like Willy Wonka’s golden ticket, except instead of allowing a person to take a tour of a chocolate factory and possibly develop diabetes in record time, it grants the person who possesses it lifetime access to any MLB stadium of that person’s choice. Needless to say, based on that very brief description, I already want one and will...
Vitor Belfort Is Sorry That He Wanted To Beat A Guy Up For Asking About TRT
After his first round KO over former Strikeforce middleweight champ Luke Rockhold at UFC on FX 8, Vitor Belfort was questioned by MMA journalist John Morgan about his use of the controversial testosterone-replacement therapy and he responded by asking, “Can somebody beat him up for me, please?” You know, because he’s a 36-year old professional athlete and adult who gets better...
Dear Lord, Let’s Watch The Memphis Grizzlies Miss 7 Lay-Ups In A Row
I am a basketball expert. Because of this, I can say with confidence that missing seven consecutive lay-ups is not a good way to win the Western Conference finals.The announcers play it off as a spectacular defensive span by the Spurs, but it reminded me the world of those times when I’d have to do lay-ups in gym class, and I was just a little fat white kid with negative-a-hundred...
ALL CHOKED UP
Jiu-Jitsu proposal is romantic, dangerous
Sports guys never seem to run out of ridiculous ways to propose to their girlfriends. There was Adrien Broner’s fake post-fight proposal, Mariners infielder Brendan Ryan’s magical trip to Japan, the Olympic swimmer who proposed in the swimming pool and about 100,000 guys who thought popping the question at a baseball game would be a fun, new idea.I’ll be honest and say I never...
Soccer Finally Deserves To Be Called Football
If you’re like most Americans, you do that thing where you go PFFT, WHAT, YOU MEAN SOCCER when somebody calls soccer “football.” It may be the most defining aspect of our nation. We can’t process why a sport involving a ball and your feet would be called “football,” because the sport where you only use your feet once you’ve given up is already called that.Today, the...
Sergio Garcia Is Stealing His Racist Jokes Now
At the 1997 Masters Tournament, as a then-21-year old Tiger Woods was about to finish an incredible 12-shot victory, then-45-year old Fuzzy Zoeller created one of golf’s strangest rivalries when he told a reporter:“That little boy is driving it well, and he’s putting well. He’s doing everything it takes to win. So you know what you guys do when he gets in here? You pat him...
So Spider-Man Kinda Sucks At Basketball (And The Morning Links)
Spider-Man was always my favorite comic book character growing up. I liked him so much that I spent like, three years justifying Spider-Man 3. Healthy Gwen Stacy, man, come on. Since Spidey 3 things have been kinda sad, with Marvel Comics replacing Peter Parker and rebooting everything and never sticking to the stories they write, and the movies are rebooted origin stories over...
